James Cagney said that the only woman he loved other than his wife was Blondell.
Was nominated for Broadway's 1958 Tony Award as Best Supporting or Featured Actress (Dramatic) for "The Rope Dancers."
Mother of Pamela Powell, from her marriage to Dick Powell
According to the July 24, 1944 issue of Time Magazine, Blondell divorced Dick Powell on the grounds of cruelty alleging that "when she objected to the incessant coming & going of guests, Powell crooned: 'If you don't like it, you can get the hell out.'"
Attended the Professional Children's School in New York City.
In the UK sitcom Dad's Army, Private Pike has a crush on her, and has dozens of pictures of her on his bedroom walls.
Her marriage to theatrical impresario Michael Todd was an emotional and financial disaster. Todd o was a heavy spender who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars gambling (high-stakes bridge was one of his weaknesses) and went through a controversial bankruptcy during their marriage. While continuing to live the high-life on a huge estate in New York's Westchester County, the irresponsible Todd ran through Blondell's savings, then eventually dumped her for the much younger Elizabeth Taylor.
She playfully called her friend Bette Davis's four ex-husbands "The Four Skins" as they were all gentiles.
